The most widely recognized missionaries of the Mormon Church are the young Elders and Sisters who proselyte the faith. However, the Mormon Church also sends out thousands of older missionaries. These missionaries fulfill a wider variety of missions including everything from serving as tour guides at Mormon historical sites to filling humanitarian or leadership missions, where they train local leadership or act as leaders themselves in areas where the Mormon Church has only recently been established. They also frequently serve as married couples who have retired from their professions.
